My full bladder stirred me awake to find my hands tied behind a chair. The room was pitch black and cold so I could barely see even if someone was right in front of me.

The person had fortunately left my mouth untied so I got to scream for help.

"Is someone here!? Please open the door! Help!" My voice came out somehow dry making me wonder how long I've been unconscious for.

The door unlocks soon and a slim yet well built man walks in closing the door with a slam that made me flinch.

"No one can hear you except me so I suggest not to waste your energy screaming for help," He says in a boring tone.

He switched on the lights and it took me a few seconds to adjust to it but once I fully opened my eyes, another figure caught my eyes at the opposite corner of the room.

Vaguely remembering seeing a smiling picture of this guy somewhere, I struggled for a few seconds trying to recall where I saw him.

Oh yes! Zuyi's wallpaper, he must be her boyfriend!

An unconscious boy laid with his back facing me so I couldn't recognize him.

That was until the kidnapper walked to him kicking his limp form to face me and my senses came alive identifying him.

"Taehyung oh my God!"

The dried blood stains from his head to his forehead and the side of his face made my eyes water.

"Who are you!? What have you done to him!?" I cried out.

The kidnapper guy crinkled his face in irritation hearing my scream. He put a finger on his lips gesturing me to keep my mouth shut as he grabs a bottle of water and walks to Taehyung.

He practically empties the entire bottle on Tae's face and crouches to slap his face until he wakes up.

Taehyung coughs as he slowly opens his eyes adjusting to the dim lighting.

"Y-y/n..." He croaks out eyes landing on my worried figure before the muscular boy steps in front of him.

"Awh look at your boy's pathetic condition," He trails his finger across Taehyung's face making him turn away.

"Red looks so good on you..." He continues to trail his finger sensually inching closer to Taehyung while the other helplessly struggled to get rid of the restraints.

"Ahem! I have to pee," My voice tore the tension.

The boy sighed getting up to untie me. He led me to a dirty restroom with ruined clerestory window but they were too small for me to even stick my head out.

Once I was done with my business in the restroom, he led me back in forcing me on the chair tying me back.

He walked towards the corner of the room where I didn't even notice a rolling table was placed from which he picked up a syringe loading it with a foreign liquid.

My heart picked up pace when he turned to me with a smirk.

"Jungkook ah! I swear if you lay a finger on her--" Taehyung threatened.

"Shhh hyung, who said I was going to her?" He said turning his heels towards Taehyung.

"What the hell are you doing! Get the fuck away from him!" Now it was my turn to yell but that didn't seem to bother him.

"Guess I should've shut her mouth first," Jungkook crouched to Taehyung pulling his arm for him to inject.

"Stop this Jungkook, please," Tae said losing his fierce demeanor.

My fingers moved faster than my heartbeat in trying to cut the rope using the piece of glass I stole from the restroom window.

I managed to get rid of the restraints within a few more seconds but Jungkook had injected Taehyung before I bashed the wooden chair on his back.

Swiftly pulling out Taehyung who laid under the muscle boy, I began undoing his hands.

Both of us froze in spot when we heard Jungkook laughing out of no where making our heads turn to him.

"You guys really thought it'd be that easy to escape?" He continued to laugh.

"Are you fine Tae?" I asked examining Taehyung's eyes ignoring the laughing idiot.

Taehyung's eyes glistened meeting mine as he gave me a look which made my heart stir.

"I'm sorry Y/n. I don't think I'm capable of protecting you," He said broken.

"Yah it's you who needs to be taken care of now!" I said running my hands over the dried blood on his face.

"We will get out of here safely. I promise," I whispered cupping his face reassuringly.

"Tsk tsk enough with your romance. It's suffocating," Jungkook towered both of us.

"I thought you were hurt--" I said gawking at his perfectly fine form.

"We aren't vampires for nothing, we have fast healing properties," He shrugged.

"If you got that much, then I've got double your amount!" I said lunging forward to land a punch on him but he caught my hand with ease.

"That's where you went wrong sweetie. The drug Tzuyu gave you last night wasn't some random sedative. It was poison that wouldn't give you more than 24 hours to breathe," He said.

My limbs went slack just like my hope hearing those words. My knees gave up but Taehyung caught me as I still remained in a paralyzed state.

Heck I don't even know how many hours or minutes I have until my last breath.

"Don't lose hope so quickly, I've a solution for you," Kook says grabbing my attention.

He walks to the same table he picked up the syringe from picking up a small container with another unknown liquid.

"This is the medicine for that poison. If you drink this now then you can save yourself," He says and before he turned around, I was already behind him to grab that bottle.

"But-" He raised up the bottle above his head smiling, "I've injected Taehyung with an extra dose of the same drug you were given yesterday which leaves him the same time as you."

"I knew it," Sighs the other male.

"Only one of you gets to save yourself now. I'll give you a minute to decide who wants to die," Jungkook says placing the medicine back on the table stepping away.
